Scrabble?! NONCONSUMPTION

Definitions of NONCONSUMPTION in various dictionaries:

The Non-consumption agreements were a part of a family of agreements, including the non-importation and non-exportation agreements addressed by American colonists in the 1774 Declarations and Resolves of the First Continental Congress. These agreements later servec as the basis for the Non-Importation Act, and subsequent Embargo of 1807 that was passed by the Continental Congress in 1806 in an attempt to establish American nautical neutrality during the Napoleonic Wars between France and Britain. Throughout the 1760s, the American colonies found themselves in the midst of one of America’s early economic falls. Colonists living in this time found themselves low on money, with trade becoming increasingly difficult, and their debt to Britain growing larger. To add to the colonist's already pressing issues, Britain began to impose a host of acts against them.
